I've just read about it on a Polish portal.

National Geographic Talk Abroad Travel Phone

I think it's not a big deal.
I suppose it's a Manx rebrand (but haven't verified it yet).

They seem to say that you are calling a Lictenstein number elsewhere on their site.

Making and Receving Calls:
When you make a call, charges begin only when the other party answers the call or if it goes to voicemail. Outgoing and incoming call charges are based on 60-second intervals. Cellular Abroad recommends that parties calling from the US to your Talk Abroad™ cell phone number use Gorilla Mobile since, based on our experience, they provide the best service to cell phones with a Liechtenstein number, including the Talk Abroad™. Important: You must have at least € 1 of credit available on your account to receive incoming calls. If you exhaust your credit, you will NOT be able to receive free incoming calls in Zone 1.

The National Geographic private label is a good selling point but the pricing appears to be a bit on the high side. Article I found that leaks some advance details: http://www.betanews.com/article/Nati...one/1172089163
